firestorm238 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah, there's no way Gillis would go for this. If this were the best offer on the table it'd be worthwhile to wait things out until the regular season, and I have no doubt that MG would be willing to do that.

GHL Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Awesome! (not really) I no longer care what the Canucks get in return. I just want this damn ordeal to be over with. As long as it is not an awful contract coming back any deal is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 WOW Luo is still a canuck.If it was up to me I'd be calling hard to whatever teams Luo wants to play with and ask for players and ask for counters, then use that against other teams till two are close then get it done!I have no doubt that MG has made a call or two, but I think he needs to do more so we can get this behind us.Luo wants out as he knows Cory is younger and better, so MG get him traded.Far as Doan goes I think MG should be calling him once a week and just asking him how hes doing and so on, make him see hes wanted and he will be respected here.

DIBdaQUIB Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Gillis has called all teams interested in a summer trade: zero. As of now, Luongo's stance is: if you want to trade me, trade me home to Florida, or if you rally have to, Chicago, our nemesis. Luongo signed here and does not wish to be traded. Tallon wants Schneider not Luongo. Howsen wants Schneider not Luongo. Burke wants Schneider not Luongo. Yzerman wants Schneider not Luongo. Florida, Columbus, Toronto and Tampa Bay are all rebuilding or semi-rebuilding teams. You rebuild around Schneider and you run the tables with Luongo. Luongo can play lights out and regain his rightful place. Schneider has been designed to bring the best return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHL Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 There are lots of players other GMs want! It doesn't mean squat if they're not available. MG wants Schneider for all the same reasons those other GMs do. He's younger, cheaper, a cool-headed professional with the potential to be a true star inthis league. Lu has made comments that it's time to move on and no way does he want to come back here to compete for a spot against Cory. It's unfortunate but despite the best team the Nucks have ever iced and all the pundits picking them to be champs, Lu and the boys came up short. Lu played his part in that and in the interests of all it is tIme to move on and let Lu have whatever of his career is left playing somewhere else. Maybe he can rejuvenate himself and be successful but staying here (especially if that means Cory goes) is a recipe for disaster for Lu and possibly the team.

EvoLu7ioN Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Why trade him now, when his value is at an all time low (despite having a great year), when you know it will increase in the future. There are a ton of teams that are entering the season with an unproven/shakey goaltender, and that have high expectations to win this season. Toronto: Reimer?... Washington: Holtby/Neuvirth Tampa: Lindback NJ: Brodeur (age) Florida: Theodore/Clemmenson/Markstrom Chicago: Crawford Ottawa: Anderson? Not saying all these guys won't play well, because it's likely a bunch of them will. But what's also VERY likely is that a few of these guys struggle hard. Just imagine if Washington or Tampa get off to a 5-10 start with struggling goaltending. Those teams have superstar players in their prime years, the demand to go out and get a goalie will skyrocket big time. If I'm Gillis, I laugh at every call from opposing GMs trying to convince me I have an untradable asset that I should be giving away for very little. Please. This is an allstar goaltender, one of the most consistent in the past 5 years,with 2 or 3 seasons of elite level left, who's locked up for a long time. He's a tremendous athlete, and has a burning fire to win. That sort of attitude is contagious, and can influence everyone on the team. Both Luongo and Schneids are true professionals, both want to win, and by holding out for a bit and playing out a 1A 1B situation for a few months they are giving both Vancouver a better return and chance to win, and allowing Luongo to have a larger group of teams to choose from; all while giving Vancovuer the best goalie tandem in the game and one of the best in the past decade. People want to think we have a problem here in Van with our goalies, they can think again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
